“IVORY STATE Hair and Makeup were amazing. I can't recommend them too highly. From the beginning, Mandy was very informative and easy to deal with. She gave great advice on skin and hair preparation prior to the wedding. She was also very considerate and aware of each person's style. Bree was super quick, and the hair looked great as well. Both makeup and hair were just what we wanted and, they finished well before schedule without us feeling rushed at all.” — Rebecca C.
